When it comes to drinking tea, this is something that my father has cultivated. Ge Hailiu and Aunt Qiu Yun have always liked to drink boiled water, and they are not used to the astringency of tea. It is better to say that the father drinks tea than to taste tea, because the father is very particular about making tea, first of all, wash the tea (put the appropriate amount of tea into the purple sand pot, wash it once with warm boiled water), and then pour boiling water to brew, and cover the pot for five or six minutes, and then pour a little more than half a cup of small purple sand cup for each person, and each person should smell the aroma of the tea with the cup first, and then take a small sip and taste it.

At first, Ge Hailiu and Aunt Qiu Yun always felt that drinking tea like this was simply a pain and redundancy, but in order to answer their father's questions again and again, they had to learn from him to taste it slowly. After a period of cultivation, I really found the joy of tasting tea from this seemingly complicated process, but I felt that the original habit of holding a large glass filled with boiled water and drinking it in two or three sips was indeed a "vulgar" behavior that was eager to quench my thirst, at least lacking a good image of "elegance".

To say that this tea tasting, from the beginning of the preparation of tea leaves, tea utensils, etc., to the first taste of tea, it takes about 20 minutes. But in these twenty or so minutes, from the beginning always my father asked this and that, until everyone talked freely, until the tea tasted very light, as if there was still something to say. Especially on Sundays, when people don't go to class or school, they always have to make two or three new pots of tea to feel happy. If the family comes back from swimming in Lake Mochizuki on this day, some sweets and fruits will be added to the tea.

After that, Aunt Qiu Yun and Ge Hailiu in Qingshuihe Primary School as long as they finished lunch, they had to start making tea and tasting tea according to the habits they had developed, but the enamel jar was used to make tea, and the small glass cup was used to drink tea, and the tea was replaced by cheaper ordinary green tea, even so, it did not reduce the fun of tea tasting between each other, sometimes because of the joy of talking about tea, Ge Hailiu was reluctant to take a nap.

In this way, the family lived happily until the end of the year.

On this day, my father received a notice and went to the county for a meeting. Ge Hailiu and Aunt Qiu Yun were used to eating the meals made by the "special chef", and as soon as their father left suddenly, they all felt like they had lost their souls, although they sat around the fire in the living room drinking tea and playing backgammon to learn chess skills, but they seemed to be thinking about the same thing, but Aunt Qiu Yun's forbearance kung fu was as bad as her chess skills, and she spoke first after a few rounds: "Hailiu, bastard, you can make it yourself" Double Four' doesn't do it, forget it, and block people's five consecutive good chess everywhere, obviously taking advantage of Daddy's absence, I want Auntie to cook these chess pieces for you to eat. ”

"Wow, boiling clouds is more domineering than boiling green plums, but also more classic!" Ge Hailiu stood up and added tea to Aunt Qiu Yun's cup, and continued with a smile: "I was about to mention food, but Auntie said it first. Now in this situation, just the two of us at home, it is too troublesome to stir-fry, and it is too expensive to cook Yunzi, because this kind of chess piece is worth four or five cents a piece, so just order bread and dumplings, which is both trouble-free and simple, I don't know what you think? ”

"It's more fun to listen to you than to play chess with you." Aunt Qiu Yun took a sip of tea, and first warned Ge Hailiu that playing chess with others is too important to winning or losing, and that he will lose chess friends and friends unconsciously like being too concerned about gains and losses, and then said with difficulty: "Are you worried that Auntie's food is not delicious, but Daddy is going to have a two-day meeting, and he will eat dumplings for these two days, how can he do it?" And now that it's winter, I can't buy leeks. ”

"Then I will make wontons at noon, and if I want to change the taste at night, and then cook and cook, two days will pass in a flash."

"Okay," Aunt Qiu Yun paused for a moment, and then continued: "Just do as you say, and you don't need to cut the wontons and the meat foam, because, last night, Daddy made meatball soup, and there was still a small half bowl of cut meat foam left in the kitchen cabinet." ”

Now that the matter was decided, Ge Hailiu immediately put away the chess sets on the coffee table, and ran to the kitchen to get the basins, panels, and noodle sticks, etc., and made preparations first. Aunt Qiu Yun washed her hands in the kitchen, scooped a bowl of flour and poured it into the basin that Ge Hailiu had prepared, and began to mix the noodles while putting water in the water, and after a while, she put the reconciled noodles on the board and kneaded them vigorously, so that the Tai Sui-like dough felt comfortable, and then took the dough stick and drove out the thin dough from its edge little by little, and from time to time used a knife to cut it into square slices four fingers wide and narrow. The next thing is to pick minced meat and wrap wontons with chopsticks, and people who like to eat pasta must know.

Ge Hailiu had only wrapped a few wontons, suddenly stopped, and said emotionally: "Auntie, just listen to Daddy, don't take that kind of medicine anymore, I want a little brother or little sister!" ”

"How?" Aunt Qiu Yun's face turned crimson all of a sudden, and she said angrily: "I have always loved Song Hailiu!" When did you learn to eavesdrop on your aunt and daddy? ”

"No eavesdropping, no eavesdropping." Ge Hailiu was so anxious that he stood up all of a sudden, and quickly explained: "Auntie, don't be angry first, here's the thing, a while ago, one day at noon, you and Daddy were talking in the study, the door of the study was not closed, and the door of the study was diagonally facing my bedroom door, I overheard it when I was doing my homework, but I didn't dare to mention it to you." ”

"Oh," Aunt Qiu Yun quickly recalled, and blamed herself, "It's really wrong to blame you, let Auntie punish herself." Before the words fell, Aunt Qiu Yun wiped it on her face with her floury hands, and happily wiped it on Ge Hailiu's face, and asked happily: "Then why did the 'little flower cat' dare to mention it today?" ”

Ge Hailiu smiled hesitantly, and replied in a tone that flattered and did not offend all parties: "Because, 'Big Flower Cat' is in a very good mood today, and besides, Auntie and Daddy are right, but 'Little Flower Cat' can't selfishly deprive Auntie of the rights she should enjoy, and 'Little Flower Cat' has been taken very seriously, very seriously." ”

"Little Flower Cat," Aunt Qiu Yun thought for a moment before continuing: "You are not selfish at all, but Auntie's heart can no longer tolerate a third person, as long as there is Daddy and you, I am satisfied, and my life has no regrets." Remember, this matter is not to be mentioned in the future. ”

"Hmm." Ge Hailiu pondered for a while, and then defended unwillingly: "Auntie, if I didn't understand it wrong, the future you just said should be counted from tomorrow, so I can still and I want to ask again, I hope you will reconsider the decision you made just now." In this family, if there is one more little brother or little sister, it is hard to imagine how much better it will be, if my aunt's love for me will be reduced and reduced, I would rather choose to have one more companion with blood relations to share this blessing. ”

Aunt Qiu Yun was making wontons with her hands in her hands, and at the same time seemed to listen to Song Hailiu seriously, and finally replied as if relieved: "Don't worry, just with your measure and calmness, Auntie will reconsider." Now, the wontons are wrapped, we all go to the kitchen to wash our hands, and when the water in the pot boils, we can cook a fragrant lunch. ”

"Auntie, how are we going to pass the time after we finish eating wontons?"

"Heh, the wontons haven't been put in the pot yet, and you're thinking about the future, are you bothered?"

"It might be a little annoying now, but if you think about it later, even you will be annoyed."

"Really?" Aunt Qiu Yun stretched out her hand and gestured, asking Ge Hailiu to put the wrapped wontons on the stove, and then continued unhurriedly: "I don't see anything to think about here." If we are not afraid of the cold weather outside, we will climb the Mochizuki Ridge near the campus, and ensure that we will sweat when we climb to the top of the mountain, and as long as we take a hot bath when we come back, we will feel very comfortable. If you are reluctant to have a pleasant room temperature, it is also a good choice to make a new pot of tea, drink tea, play chess and chat. ”

When Ge Hailiu heard it, he liked it very much, so he immediately chosen, "Then let's go climb Mochizuki Ridge." It is true that the point of view is very clear, but it is difficult to talk to knowledge-based people like Aunt Qiu Yun and Daddy, without some knowledge in the words, and then added: "Auntie has said, it is much better to go outdoors than to live at home, how can I give up, I also think that the fire is more roasted, the colder it feels, and the microclimate generated by the fire will make people lose their yearning and love for nature." ”

"It may be true that it will make people lose their 'freedom to play' during the holidays." Aunt Qiu Yun clicked on Ge Hailiu's thoughts that she wanted to hide, and said happily while putting wontons into the pot: "Okay, this matter is up to you." It is estimated that he saw that Ge Hailiu did not respond in time, so he changed the topic and said: "Oh, Hailiu, have you found it?" The cuteness of Daddy lies in the fact that when planning and building this school, the first consideration was to solve the problem of running water, which allows the teachers and staff of the school not only to do laundry and cooking, but also to take a bath like people in the city, and truly stay at home. ”
